Joseph Moore works days on the shop floor at GE Aviation's fast-growing jet engine factory in Auburn - then teaches his experiences at night in the classroom.
He's one of several operations managers at GE's Auburn site with a teaching role during the month-long vocational training sessions at Southern Union State Community College near Auburn to prepare GE's growing foster of hourly workers.
About four sessions are held annually to handle the demand for more trained workers in the GE Auburn factory. In addition to the Southern Union instructors, the program includes Moore and his GE colleagues each leading a three-hour evening of instruction each week.
